Ruby Dolls

A while ago we ordered a set of dolls based on Proverbs 31 that are called Ruby Dolls. They are called this because a woman of noble character is worth far more than rubies. Since we started our new Keepers at Home group, we have been studying Proverbs 31.

The set of dolls come with a book that you make focusing each day on a different verse. We have been going over that daily in our Bible time for school...and have begun making our Ruby dolls. For family night last week we decided to jump in and make Ruby...or at least start!

There was a lot of crafty things involved and we are not nearly finished! We will not only make Ruby...studying all the characteristics she has...but also her family. It will take us a while, but we had a great time with Ruby. The girls learned more about sewing and the kinds of stitches involved. I am learning too! It's great that the girls are learning wonderful skills!

They learned about threading a needle and sewing her garments. They did as much as possible on their own so that they could really learn the skills themselves!

Here is Virginia's Ruby doll. Isn't she great? They did a wonderful job and each day we are all learning more about the kind of woman God has for us to be. I am getting so much out of this study...and I need to learn a lot myself!

Look at Anli's! It looks just like her. While we are doing each step, there are things we are learning about being a woman of noble character. It brings it to the girls level of being a young girl of virtue. We talk about clothing...like Ruby's clothing...we should strive to honor God with what we wear. It's a great time of discipleship with the girls...and a lot of fun too!
